Skylights in Dulzura, CA.

Skylights for Dulzura homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. A skylight transforms a dark room. A badly flashed skylight turns the same room into a water damage claim.

Dulzura: Backcountry homes in Julian and the mountain communities see real freeze-thaw stress plus occasional snow loads that coastal-spec roofs aren't designed for. Dulzura roofs need ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves — skipping it invites slow leaks that don't show up for years.

Why do skylights leak?

Almost always a flashing issue, not the skylight itself. The #1 leak cause: the flashing kit wasn't matched to the roofing material (shingle vs. tile vs. metal), or the counter-flashing wasn't properly integrated with the courses of roofing above. We use Velux flashing kits specific to your roof type and install per manufacturer spec.
